Áron Tamási (born: János Tamás; 20 September 1897 – 26 May 1966) was a Hungarian writer.
He became well known in his native region of Transylvania and in Hungary for his stories written in his original Székely style.
Born to a Székely family in Farkaslaka in Udvarhely County, Kingdom of Hungary, Austria-Hungary (present-day Lupeni, Harghita County, Romania), he graduated in Law and Commerce at the Babeș-Bolyai University, Tamási emigrated to the United States in 1923, soon after Transylvania became part of Romania.
One of Tamási's most famous works from this period was a novel trilogy about the adventures of a Székely boy called Ábel, a young forest ranger living alone in the Hargita Mountains.
At his request, he was buried in his native Székely Land, an ethno-cultural region in eastern Transylvania, Romania.
